No personal experience, but I've been advised several times by "experts" that the KMac system has more adjustment and is of a better quality.

Ive also heard for the commodores, "KMAC hands down" from a few installers, one of which is into the drag racing scene a fair bit..
This may be different depending on what series of commie you have also, I'm not sure. Apparently the kits are a bitch to DIY install, some shops have a special tool for it..
I have a VR calais and I was quoted $650 - $700 for a 4-point Kmac kit installed... yeowza!

for 1st and 2nd gen commodores the adjustable trut tops are a bolt in proposition. 3rd gen commodores the mounting cup for the top strut bush is actually spot welded into the strut tower and needs to be drilled out. then you can drill the holes to suit the new adjustable strut top. hence the reason it costs more for later model commodores.
street machine did a article on em when they fitted new suspension to there giveaway project ute "VU for U" got some good pics from memory

wtf???? i can pickup the kit for $450 and do it myself.....that is from REPCO!!!!
i personally reckon the k-mac is the best money well spent... ive installed them a few times and they r the best at wheel alignment adjustability...
3 kits ive installed are used on track duty on heaps of occasions...

just out of curiosity, on my vy srz1 ss, do i need a camber kit for the rear? and was told needed a camber and toe kit if i lower my car bout 1-2 inches, is this true? or does it have camber adjustment? and are nolathane bushes worth it or are the factory bushes ok for the front and rear? cars done 166,000kays.

I got a 4 point fitted and alignment for about $350 i think it was the blue jobbies. The camber was pretty good but the toe out was a bit excessive before i got the kit fitted
I have since done 20,000 kays and they are wearing pretty even across the tread.
